Transcriptomic analyses reveal biosynthetic genes related to rosmarinic acid in Dracocephalum tanguticum

Abstract Dracocephalum tanguticum Maxim, a Lamiaceae species endemic to the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and adjacent regions, is an important ornamental, medicinal and aromatic herb. In this study, a comprehensive transcriptome of 18 libraries from six organs namely, roots, stems, leaves, sepals, flower...
